Make two equations from the information. Then graph them and see where they intersect. The answer is 62 miles. Plug 62 back into both equations and they should both be the same number.
Answer:
the answer is 9271
Step-by-step explanation:
if 7300 is 73%, then you need to add 27% to get 100% which is 9271
The answer to that is 18. Since your power is just 1, it is itself.

Answer:
3. $6000 at 8%; $5000 at 5%
4. 66 2/3 gallons of 9%; 133 1/3 gallons of 6%
Step-by-step explanation:
For many mixture problems, it works well to let a variable represent the amount of the largest contributor used in the mix.
3. Let x represent the amount invested at 8%. Then the total interest is ...
8%x +5%(11000-x) = 730
3%x = 730 -550
x = 180/0.03 = 6000
$6000 was invested at 8%; $5000 was invested at 5%.

4. Let x represent the number of gallons of 9% content. Then the alcohol content of the mix is ...
9%x +6%(200 -x) = 7%(200)
3%x = 1%(200) . . . . . subtract 6%(200)
x = 200/3 = 66 2/3 . . . . . divide by 3%
200 -x = 133 1/3
66 2/3 gallons of 9% wine and 133 1/3 gallons of 6% wine should be used.
All together for this one?
